Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Many more would have died (a)/ if they hadn’t received (b)/ the timely helping from (c)/ the relief team. (d)

It should be ‘help’ in place of ‘helping’ in the third part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

There is no argument against (a)/ the fact that (b)/ humans are the most intelligent (c)/ of all other species. (d)

Delete ‘other’ from the fourth part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The book is well-printed (a)/ and attractively bound (b)/ making altogether (c)/ an attractive volume (d).

The complete sentence should be 'making altogether for an attractive volume.'

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

District police arrested (a)/ a gang of notorious robbers, (b)/ who were planning to strike at (c)/ a house in the vicinity. (d)

It should be ‘strike out’ in place of ‘strike at’ in the third part of the sentence. Strike at means to hit somebody with a weapon and strike out means to move in a planned or determined way.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

No sooner had he (a)/ come from Mumbai when (b)/ he was asked (c)/ to proceed to Delhi. (d)

Because the sentence begins with No sooner had he come, the right use will be ‘than’ not ‘when’. 'When' is used, when the exact event or time is mentioned directly in the sentence, e.g., He had just come from Mumbai when he was asked to proceed to Delhi.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Since I was doing (a)/ my MBA initially (b)/ chose to specialize (c)/ in marketing management. (d)

Delete ‘my’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Organised (a)/ labour has fight (b)/ for and won protection and benefits (c)/ for its workers. (d)

has is always followed by the third form of verb so ‘has fought’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Hardly had I (a)/ entered the airport (b)/ than I met (c)/ my cousin Tilak. (d)

It should be ‘when’ in place of ‘than’ in the third part of the sentence because 'hardly, scarcely' are followed by ‘when’ in the second part.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

He decided to work for (a)/ an NGO, but most of his (b)/ classmates opted for high-paid (c)/ jobs in multinational companies. (d).

Apply the adverb ‘highly’ before the adjective ‘paid’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

When (a)/ I came home, the (b)/ children still didn’t finish (c)/ dinner. (d)

The sentence refers to a time in the past, so the action has been completed in the past tense, which implies the tense of the verb would be past perfect so ‘hadn’t finish’ and not ‘didn’t finish’.
